Social Dilemma: A Teaching Game.

Harrod, Wendy J.

Teaching Sociology, v10 n2 p266-74 Jan 1983

Manageable in a 50-minute class with as many as 60 students, this game is designed to help college- level sociology students recognize (1) the reward structure leading to social dilemmas, (2) the individualistic strategy people follow in social dilemmas, and (3) the inefficacy and hypocrisy of communication in social dilemmas.
